I'm using the Group Policy Management console for all editing/modeling. When I try to run a GP Result model via the GPMC, I get an access denied error message when I try to run it for my workstation. If I try another machine, I am able to do so. From the command line, I still get the same error message.

It makes me think there is a policy issue but I can't find a setting that would cause something like this; other than the ones I listed above and they seem to be set correctly for what I want to accomplish.

I'm not sure. I just started with this company about a month ago and group policy has been a thorn in my side since. The previous network guys were complete morons and tore it to shreds. The previous two network guys had a bunch of "great" ideas on security and, well, I've never seen a domain get so screwed up.

I can't find anything in the policy itself that would cause any major issues and I've never had any conflict before now. I'm probably going to just rebuild group policy over night and import the new policies tomorrow. I think that would be the best bet. I'll try that and see if my problem resolves itself; unless you can think of something that might cause oddities such as this.

Something interesting I just tried. I placed a block inheritance at the IT level and ran another gpupdate. This time it took an excessive amount of time before refreshing the policy. I also received an error message in the RSoP management console regarding WMI? I've never had a problem with this before.

interesting to see if the error is coming from your user or machine side of things - i am guessing the policy itself has something messed up in it, if you are now solely in charge of the network, then i would rebuild the policies as you see fit

It seems to be working now. I have no idea what I did either. I restarted my machine again but now it's running the RSoP at demand. I did add myself to the Group Policy Creator Owners group but I've restarted since then and forced an update of GP.

I have no resolution for this issue. It seems to have resolved itself.

I have the same problem as ACCUmarc (I've inherited a network also). It seems I can't run gpresult or RSOP on domain controllers. RSOP gives me an access denied message. GPresult gives me the bad login message. I can run GPResult on workstations !?! . I don't understand. I am using the domain administrators account, and I removed and readded the domain administrator to the Group Policy Creator Owners group in the domain, as ACCUmarc suggested. So if I understand ACCUmarc's comment, I need to recreate all my group policies ??

That's exactly what I did. The Default Domain policy was butchered. It was fragmented in so many policies that it was the quickest method. I created a new policy at the domain policy and did it my way. Magically everything worked after that.
